How to play Sleepy Eyed Feeling: key, chords and progression

Sleepy Eyed Feeling by Iguana keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 6 chords: Gmaj7, C#m7, Cmaj7, Fmaj7, Em7 and Amaj7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Cmaj7 – Fmaj7 – Em7 – Fmaj7 (Imaj7 – IVmaj7 – iii7 – IVmaj7 in C major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – mi – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
